Not as powerful as Promises, as shocking as Budrus or as extensive as The Settlers, but but at least it humanizes the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and helps to promote intellectual discussion.

NYC Movie Guru
For its expelled inhabitants, it’s a lasting memory of better times, but it’s also a serene, painful marker for Arabs and Jews with competing narratives of rootlessness, conflict and occupation.
Los Angeles Times
Vital, complicated and flawed ... necessary viewing.

Watching these sturdy carriers of suffering inevitably argue, your spirits may sink. But you also can't help but notice that the rocky terrain requires them at times to hold on to each other.

Los Angeles Times
The Ruins of Lifta offers a muscular example of ability of documentaries to make the political intensely personal. More painfully, it's also a case study in the limits of benign intention.

Product Description:
Menachem Daum, an elderly Orthodox Jew from Brooklyn, tries to bring together Arabs and Jews for an effort to rehabilitate a Muslim cemetery in the Palestinian village of Lifta. In the process, Daum learns of his uncle's complicity in driving Arabic citizens from their land in the aftermath of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
